Recently it became clear that server infrastructure would fall behind future progress in the WebOS world. "So they asked HP's Phil McKinney, who has arranged to donate an HP Proliant DL385 2u server with 32 gigs of RAM and 8 terabytes of disk space... Notably, this is a straight-up donation, no strings attached — so WebOS Internals will remain how they always have: completely independent from the company whose OS they hack on."

I understand it is a gesture in (truly) good faith. I thought it would be interesting for the/. crowd to see how a company can have both an easy to use OS and havea customizable and hackable one - in essence, having the best of iOS and Android.
